This species seems to be confined to the outer tropical region 

 of the eastern Himalaya, the northern parts of Behar, Assam, 

 and the Ivhasia Hills ; Chittagong is apparently its southern limit 

 in tlie direction of tlie Burmese territory. The specimen from 

 Singapore, collected by Dr. Jack, and now in the Hookerian Her- 

 barium, is the only one I have seen from the Malayan pe- 

 nnisula. I spent six days in Singapore in ISGl, and did not 

 meet with this species ; and my collectors, wlio remained there for 

 SIX weeks, also failed to discover it. I possess a Bpecimen from 

 Hongkong, where it is probably only cultivated.
